Learners of the language will find Danish's evolution in pronounciation the
hardest to follow or understand, however. It has been compared to hearing a
Norwegian mumbling, and this is due to softening of the sounds /t/, /p/,
/d/, /k/, /g/, and /b/, and also the Stød -- somewhat similar to a glottal
stop.

Like German, Danish has a polite form of address -- using the personal
pronouns De and Dem -- generally used when speaking to senior
citizens and officials -- and a polite form (du and dig) when
speaking to anyone else.

As with NorwegianDanish uses the characters å, æ and ø, which will
be found at the back of a dictionary. The character å became "official"
after language reforms in 1948 -- before then the town Åbenrå was spelled
Aabenraa (this was a major point of contention with the inhabitants).
These also included the dropping of capitals on nouns, and some other
provisions.

The bakerboy, having seen this Turkish cake solved the butter-in-the-dough problem by applying the butter on top of the flat dough, and then fold the whole thing. The new creation proved to be a success and quickly got the name Wienerbrød, Vienna-bread, after the bakerboy.

The ideal Danish is made up of 24 layers of dough with 23 layers of butter in between. It doesn't require as much counting as one may think: you simply make three layers of dough and butter and fold it three times. Voila: 24!
